I don´t think photographing an N scale layout is much different from taking pictures of an HO scale layout. The basic trick is to bring the camera down as much as possible, and as close to the object as possible. Just think of the viewing angle a scale person would have and try to simulate that. I also prefer a slight (and I mean slight) upward angle to simulate view a person standing next to the rails would when looking at a train. The camera I have is a no frills Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1, about 6 years old. It does not have a high amount of mega pixels, but a high quality Leica lens, which has no aberration in close- up photography.I use manual aperture setting, but automatic focusing. Works quite well. Here are some examples: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020251c.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020226.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020360klein2.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030005klein.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" />
